Do you know the origin of wooden plate? from YuansongMicro's blog

We use plates every day, and it's been a long time since the simple ceramic plate became the modern disposable wooden plate we know today. But have you ever wondered where your disposable wooden plate came from?

It is believed that the earliest plates used were large leaves, half gourds or shells, which served as simple food bowls. Food will be placed on a large leaf or other container in the center of the dining area and eaten by all members of the tribe, family or group. People discovered the uses of clay very early on and made their own simple bowls, cups, jugs and jugs. Examples of these early men making pottery can be seen in museums around the world.

The idea of individuals owning their own plate is fairly new. In the Middle Ages, those who could afford it would buy tin pans. However, the lead used to make tin can leach out, especially when highly acidic foods are placed on it, leading to lead poisoning. One food that causes this is the humble tomatoes, so people think tomatoes are poisonous. These plates have become more complex over time. They went from pottery to tin and other metals. As technology advances, the plates are made from the finest china and porcelain.

Although it is technically possible to wash wooden plates and cutting boards in the dishwasher, it is not a good idea. Higher water temperatures in the dishwasher can dry out the wooden plate and cause the wood to crack. Simple hand wash is best for wooden plates. Dampen the freshly washed wooden plate with a clean rag, then air dry the wooden plate thoroughly before discarding.

Foods high in pigment, such as ketchup or berries, can stain wooden and cutting boards. If soiled, they are still safe to use and the stain will eventually disappear. Wooden objects can absorb strong odors, such as garlic or oil, and transfer those odors and flavors to other foods. To reduce the smell, rub wood surfaces with halved lemon slices or a paste made with baking soda and water. This will help eliminate the odor. If this is too much of a hassle, keep a separate cutting board and/or container for more tasty treats to avoid flavor transfer.
